Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Which, if any, of the following statements about electric field lines is/are true? A.The electric field is always perpendicular
jonny [76]
The electric field is always perpendicular to the surface outside of a conductor. TRUE

<span> If an electron were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction perpendicular to the field. FALSE, it would move in an anti-parallel direction because its charge is negative </span>
 
<span>Electric field lines originate on positive charge and terminate on negative charge. TRUE ; but they can also go to infinity </span>
 
It is possible for two electric field lines to cross each other.
<span> Usually FALSE; though technically possible at special points where field is zero. </span>
 
If an electron and a positron were in the presence of a very strong electric field, they would move away from each other.
<span> TRUE; one is positive, and one is negative. If the field is strong enough, the action of the field will overcome the mutual attraction between them </span>
 
It is not possible for the electric field to ever be zero. FALSE: it IS possible, inside a conductor for instance
   
If a proton were placed on an electric field line, it would move in a direction anti-parallel to the field.
<span> FALSE: being positive, it would move in the SAME direction as the field</span>ic

Is electrical conductivity?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

can't tell if this is question, it is not written correctly

Explanation:

Electrical conductivity is the measure of a material's ability to allow the transport of an electric charge. Its SI is the siemens per meter, (A2s3m−3kg−1) (named after Werner von Siemens) or, more simply, Sm−1. It is the ratio of the current density to the electric field strength.

If the phase angle for a block–spring system in SHM is ϕ and the block's position is given by x = xm cos(ωt + ϕ), what is the ra
matrenka [14]

<h2>K.E/P.E = m/k  tan²φ x ω²</h2>

Explanation:

The given position of block x = x₀ cos(ωt + φ)

The velocity of block  v = dx/dt = - x₀ sin(ωt + φ) x ω

The kinetic energy = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 m x₀² sin²(ωt + φ) x ω²

The potential energy of spring = 1/2 k x² , where k is the spring constant

Thus P.E = 1/2 x k x x₀² cos²(ωt + φ)

When t = 0

K.E = 1/2 m x₀²sin²φ x ω²

P.E = 1/2 k x₀² cos²φ

Dividing these , we have

K.E/P.E = m/k  tan²φ x ω²

A certain quantity of a liquid has a volume of 10cm at 20°C. Calculate its volume at 50°C, if it’s cubic expansivity is 10^(-3)
Pavel [41]

Answer:

10.3 cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original volume (V₁) = 10 cm³

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 20 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 50 °C

Cubic expansivity (γ) = 10¯³ K¯¹

Final volume (V₂) =?

γ = V₂ – V₁ / V₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10( 50 – 20)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 10(30)

10¯³ = V₂ – 10 / 300

Cross multiply

10¯³ × 300 = V₂ – 10

0.3 = V₂ – 10

Collect like terms

0.3 + 10 = V₂

10.3 = V₂

V₂ = 10.3 cm³

Thus, the volume at 50 °C is 10.3 cm³
